A "4 Boys" Triathlon

Today, we got to spend some time with The Boys and I suggested we grab a ball and toss it around. What we ended up with were 4 boys who wanted to play 3 different games. Always looking for the compromise, I suggested we do 15 minutes of each sport. The result: a 4 Boys Triathlon.

The sports involved were: kickball, basketball and football.

I suspected 15 minutes of each sport was going to be a breeze. I was so wrong. After 15 minutes of kickball, I knew I had a problem. Basketball and football just kicked my butt.

Shira, and the boys' Mom, even got in on the action. It was an outstanding, and exhausting, experience. The boys, of course, could do this all day. Such is the joy of being a teenager.

Some photos of the experience are below. Do you have any idea how hard it is to both play sports and photograph them with your cell phone? Yeah, it doesn't really work.
